...but this is just shameful.
P.S. Bear Bryant is dead, God rest his soul. Let him remain in peace, rather than continuously trying to resurrect the man.
From SbB:
LSU FANS WERE REALLY HOPING FOR A NICK SABAN BIDET: The AP reports Tuscaloosa, AL was somehow included in a geographic zone given gigantic Federal tax breaks for new construction - in the effort to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. The result: "With large swaths of the Gulf Coast still in ruins from Hurricane Katrina, rich federal tax breaks designed to spur rebuilding are flowing hundreds of miles inland to investors who are buying up luxury condos near the University of Alabama's football stadium.
"10 condominium projects are going up in Tuscaloosa, and builders are asking up to $1 million for units with granite countertops, king-size bathtubs and 'Bama decor, including crimson couches and Bear Bryant wall art."
Now for the main reason for this example of blatant misuse of Katrina-related Federal givebacks: "Locals say Tuscaloosa was included in the GO Zone through the efforts of Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, who is from Tuscaloosa, graduated from Alabama and sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee."
If only Brownie, who was too busy fouling up orders doing a heck of a job at a Biloxi Dairy Queen drive-thru.
